Character

Trivia

  • Summer 2014 Event E-3 preboss node flagship & E-4 Boss.
  • Midway Island.
  • She's immune to torpedoes, so neither torpedo bombers nor torpedo attacks will land on her. During night battle the ships will only attack her using their firepower stat.
  • She's an installation type, so she's weak against Type 3 Shell.
  • Damage text is different from others:
    • Slightly damaged (小破) → Confused (混乱)
    • Moderately damaged (中破) → Damaged (損害)
    • Heavily damaged (大破) → Broken (損壊)
    • Sunken (撃沈) → Destroyed (破壊)
  • The three runways around her are based on the three runways on Midway Island (seen here).
  • Her 2nd form is based on the Midway-based aircraft attacks following the battle, which sunk Mikuma after her collision with Mogami.
    • Her planes are references to US Navy aircraft: the Abyssal Hell Dive Bomber refers to the Navy's "helldiving" nickname for dive bombing, later applied to the SB2C Helldiver, the Abyssal Cat Fighter is the F4F Wildcat and subsequent "-cat" fighters, and the Abyssal Revenge Torpedo Bomber is the TBF Avenger.
    • Her equipment change to a radar rather than bombers in her final form may refer to the breaking of the Japanese codes by the Americans.
    • Lack of torpedo bombers in her final form may be a reference to TBD Devastators squadron all shot down by Kido Butai's Combat Air Patrol.
